An increase in incidence of abdominal aortic aneurysm is predicted as an extension of the advancing age of our population. Novel strategies for treatment and prevention need to be considered. Interdisciplinary approaches to this disease will aid in prevention and treatment. This volume will integrate new insights into the etiology and pathology of aneurismal disease, including physiologic and genetic causes. Several educational objectives have been met in this volume. The contributors assess the benefits of risk of rupture assessment at different ages and thresholds of abdominal aortic aneurysm in the context of epidemiologic studies, examine the use of animal models in the study of abdominal aortic aneurysm and its underlying pathobiology, and integrate data on susceptibility and genetic causes of abdominal aortic aneurysms. The increase in abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA) is viewed from the perspective of epidemiology, and initiatives to prevent death from rupture are discussed. Animal models and their relevance to pathophysiology and prevention are also presented, and the interventional pharmacology is also considered from the perspective of enzymology. In addition, chapters covering the biological aspects of the endovascular devices used to repair abdominal aortic aneurysm and the molecular biology and immunology in abdominal aortic aneurysm are included.

As life expectancy is extended, the incidence and occurrence of Aortic Aneurysms are becoming increasingly common. Until recently, the treatment of aortic disease was primarily surgical, carrying a high mortality rate among the high risk elderly population. In Aortic Aneurysms: Pathogenesis and Treatment, Gilbert R. Upchurch Jr., Enrique Criado, and a panel of distinguished physicians comprehensively assess the rapidly evolving field of aneurysm treatment, focusing on aneurysms of the descending thoracic and abdominal aorta. The discussion of Aortic Aneurysms covers endovascular aortic repair as well as the recent significant improvements in stent graft design. This volume provides a concise and authoritative view of the current state of patient management, serving as a primer on clinical care and surgical procedures for aortic aneurysms. Comprehensive and up-to-date, Aortic Aneurysms: Pathogenesis and Treatment, offers Cardiologists, Vascular Surgeons, and Thoracic and Cardiac Surgeons a multidisciplinary approach to the management and treatment of patients with aortic disease.

Aortic aneurysms are common and may be lethal if undetected and leading to rupture. Aortic disease is among the leading cause of death in the United States with aneurysm disease specifically being the 13th leading cause. Along with increasing life expectancy, the frequency with which cardiovascular specialists will encounter patients with aortic disease is also increasing. Therefore, it is important that physicians who deal with the aging population, such as cardiac surgeons, vascular surgeons, and cardiologists be familiar with the diagnosis and management principles of aortic aneurysms. The lack of effective medical therapy makes timely surgical intervention the only viable treatment option for aortic aneurysms once they attain a certain diameter. Unfortunately, aortic aneurysms are clinically silent until patients present with catastrophic aortic rupture.Until the last one to two decades, treatment of aortic disease primarily relied on open surgical procedures, involving large incisions with associated significant morbidity and mortality risk. Although such open surgical procedures are effective and durable, endovascular therapies have evolved to replace open surgical procedures in many instances. In addition, endovascular therapies in many instances complement open surgical procedures to provide hybrid approaches to certain aneurysms, potentially lessening the risk of morbidity and rehabilitation. This book is intended to be an authoritative and comprehensive volume dedicated to aortic disease with particular emphasis on aortic aneurysms in line with the previous edition. The current proposed book builds on the initial edition by focusing on aneurysms and adding chapters on other aortic pathology involving the entire length of the aorta from aortic root to terminal aorta, thereby appealing to an even broader audience consisting of cardiac surgeons, vascular surgeons, and cardiologists. While the initial chapters deal with suchtopics as genetics, inflammation, and imaging modalities, the vast extent of the book is meant to serve as a primer on clinical care, specifically on surgery for aortic aneurysms and other aorta-related conditions.Aortic Aneurysms is a vital resource resource for physicians, residents, fellows, and medical students who practice or are training to practice cardiovascular surgery and cardiology.
